Dallas, TX Car Shipping: 2026 Costs & Routes

Our team has been in the car shipping industry for a long time. We worked for some of the largest brokers and knew there was a better way to do things.

So we set out to create a company that would be different. We want to walk you through how the process works and we guarantee to match any price you hear from a competitor.

We're a scrappy team that looks forward to earning your business.

See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details about how to prepare your vehicle for shipping. In short, you'll want to remove any toll pass (particularly important in the Dallas area with its tollway system), fragile items, and interior/exterior accessories that could be damaged in transit. Make sure you have a key available to provide the carrier, and our team will handle the rest with real-time tracking and digital vehicle inspections to ensure your car arrives in the same condition it left Dallas.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured when shipping to or from Dallas. All carriers transporting your car through Dallas are required to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that every carrier's insurance policy is valid and in good standing throughout your shipment, giving you peace of mind whether you're shipping locally within the Dallas area or across the country.

The sooner, the better. We recommend scheduling your Dallas pickup at least two weeks in advance, though posting your shipment immediately gives carriers the best opportunity to bundle your vehicle with others heading out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. With our 95% carrier securement rate, early scheduling helps us secure reliable, FMCSA-licensed carriers within your requested timeframe.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Your shipment with SAKAEM includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If your shipment includes ocean transit (Hawaii shipments), your vehicle must be emptied of all items. SAKAEM and your assigned carrier are not responsible for personal items left inside your vehicle. See our Auto Transport Process Article for more details.

A designated (adult) must be present at pickup and delivery. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle's condition.

Enclosed transport costs at least 50% more than open trailers, but provides protection from Dallas weather and road debris—ideal for high-value vehicles like classics or custom paint jobs. Open transport is the budget-friendly option for standard vehicles and works well for Dallas-to-destination routes. At Sakaem Logistics, our AI-verified pricing ensures you get transparent quotes for either option, with all carriers fully FMCSA-licensed and insured.

Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport service in Dallas. At booking, simply provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses within the Dallas area, and our FMCSA-licensed carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle directly to those locations whenever possible. If access restrictions or safety concerns arise at your specified address, our carrier will work with you to arrange a nearby alternative, such as a local gas station or parking lot, ensuring a seamless pickup and delivery experience.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, electric vehicles, vans and motorcycles across all 48 continental states + Hawaii. Our services even provide shipment for golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship vehicles that don't run so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. The only exception is boats, which we do not transport.
